Generates 12 billion unique multicultural avatars, representing diverse races, cultures, and age groups. Offers avatar creation from random, string, or hash inputs, outputting SVG or PNG formats.
This is a Kotlin transcription of the original Multiavatar script compatible with Compose Multiplatform.
Multiavatar is a multicultural avatar maker.
Multiavatar represents people from multiple races, multiple cultures, multiple age groups, multiple worldviews and walks of life.
In total, it is possible to generate 12,230,590,464 unique avatars.
Using Gradle:
implementation("io.github.mew22:multiavatar:<version>")
API:
// Create manually
val avatarData = AvatarData(
background = AvatarDataPart.getRandomPart(),
clothes = AvatarDataPart.getRandomPart().increment(),
head = AvatarDataPart.getOrThrow(1),
mouth = AvatarDataPart.getRandomPart().decrement(),
eyes = AvatarDataPart.getRandomPart(),
top = AvatarDataPart.getRandomPart(),
)
avatarData = AvatarData.generateFromFormattedString(iconString).getOrThrow()
avatarData = AvatarData.generateWithSha256(iconString).getOrThrow()
avatarData = AvatarData.generateRandom()
svgString = MultiAvatar.getAvatarSvgString(avatarData)
svgBytes = MultiAvatar.getAvatarSvgBytes(avatarData)
With Coil3 SVG support:
val playerIconBytes = remember(iconString) {
val avatarData = AvatarData.generateFromFormattedString(iconString).getOrThrow()
MultiAvatar.getAvatarSvgBytes(avatarData)
}
AsyncImage(
model = ImageRequest.Builder(context = LocalPlatformContext.current)
.data(playerIconBytes)
.decoderFactory(SvgDecoder.Factory())
.build(),
contentDescription = null,
contentScale = ContentScale.Crop,
modifier = modifier
.size(184.dp)
.border(
2.dp,
Color(0xffD9D9D9),
CircleShape
)
.clip(CircleShape)
.clickable { },
error = ColorPainter(Color(0xffBC1A3F)),
)
The initial unique 48 (16x3) avatar characters are designed to work as the source from which all 12 billion avatars are generated.
Every avatar consists of 6 parts:
Also, there are different versions of different parts. In some final avatars, additional parts are hidden with transparency (none for the color) to create different shapes by re-using the same code. Also, each avatar has 3 unique color themes that are defined in the script. In total, there are: 16 characters x 3 versions/themes = 48 initial unique avatars. You can see them all by opening the svg/index.html file in your browser.
To create new avatars, the Multiavatar script mixes different parts of different avatars, and different color themes.
The total number of unique avatars: 48^6 = 12,230,590,464
One of the main Multiavatar functions is to work as an identicon. Every unique avatar can be identified by the unique string of characters, associated with the avatar.
The string of characters is also the input for the Multiavatar script, which converts the provided string into a 6 double-digit numbers (range 00-47), each representing an individual part of the final avatar.
000000000000 - this string of numbers represents the very first avatar + its A theme. You can also read it like this: 00 00 00 00 00 00.
474747474747 - this is the 12,230,590,464th avatar (or the 16th initial avatar + its "C" color theme).
